This is a stupid phenomenon called "pinoy pride". Those who have been brainwashed with this pride could only accept positive comments. They simply want to live in a dream world, where everyone say good to them, but if anyone happens to give them any negative suggestion, they would get crazy and refuse to accept the truth in every ways.
This is why they don't represent well in the world stage. They want the world to praise them. On the other hand, people from truly developed countries never ask like that. The world would praise them because of their actions, not because of what they ask for.
